French Cashmere.

French cashmere is a, fabric that
holds its position in fashionable favor
year after year and season after season
with unvarying monotony. French
grades are shown this season, which are
more than ever tempting and desirable
first, from their most beautiful and
varied coloring and exquisite finish,
and second, from their exceedingly low
price by the yard. Very many women
prefer French cashmeres to all other
dress goods for ordinary wear. The
new invoices have some charming
features this season; among others the
dainty qualities of figured patterns on
pale-hued grounds, with fine fou1ard
designs in delicate colors. These fancy
cashmeres are specially adapted for
watering-place wear for young ladies,
and with soft, creamy lace trimmings,
with ribbon bows and loops of dark,
rich velvet to tone the whole, they
prove eminently becoming TO youthful
forms and faces. The plain cashmeres
in monochrome make very dressy and
lady-like toilets for more elderly women,
in the deeper and neutral colors, made
up in combination with velvet, plain or
striped.

Del-i-Iah,

Jeanette w. Columbia, s. CO. writes:
q would be very much obliged to you if
EyoukWillf tell me how the name Of Sam
sons wife, Delilah, ought to be pro
rlounced Z have heard it called del i.
lab, until recently, when young
clergyman told me that the correct pro-
nunciation is Del-i-lah. It does not
seem possible that everybody I have
ever heard pronounce the name before
could have been mistaken; and yet
am positively certain that they all call
ed it De-i-lah, with the accent full and
plain on the second syllable. How
ever, | should like to know what the
correct pronunciation of the word is,
no matter what it may be. y It is not
surprising that you should have doubts
OF the correctness of the young clergy
mans pronunciation of the name when
he called it Del-i-lah, with the accent
on the first syllable; because from time
immemorial, the usual pronunciation of
the word by the great majority of peo-.
pie has been De-li-lah. Nevertheless,
the young clergyman was right, Del
i-lah is the correct pronunciation of the
name of Samson's wife, although it is
doubtful If some old-fashioned people
would recognize her by that name.

Buried Alive.


London Telegraph: A painful incl
dent which recalls Edgar Poe's thrilling
sketch entitled premature Burial is
reported from Saumur. Ayoung man,
who was afflicted with a contagious
disease, suddenly died. at least to all
appearance, and his burial was ordered
to take place as soon as possible. The
undertaker's men, who carried the
coffin to the grave, thought that they
heard noise like knocking under its
lid, yet, being afraid of creating a
panic among the people who attended
the funeral, they went on with their
burden.
The coffin was duly placed in the
grave, but, as the earth was being
thrown upon it, unmistakable sounds
of knocking were heard by every body
The Mayor, however, had to be sent
for before the coffin could be opened
and some delay occurred in the arriva-
that official. When the lid was re
moved the horrible discovery was made
that the unfortunate inmate had only
just died from asphyx a. The French
law requiring speedy interment ought
to be modified without delay.
